....continuing the spirit of 1966 ... this little competition was published by Bosch around Christmas 1966. For those who want to give it a go to relieve lockdown boredom I have omitted the answers (until later).
It appeared in a British motoring weekly and Bosch is German so bear that in mind in the type of cars they used for that audience. Not directly related to the old film but it might help identification in a few cases.
One for the older folks or those who as youngsters had a Corgi / Dinky collection in the mid sixties .....or Even younger folk who inherited their dad’s toy car collection and the Observers Book of Automobiles — 1966 edition (with forward by the late Stirling Moss.)

If anyone has any info on Porsche and/or AFN representation at the 1965 London Motor Show I would love to hear! Many thanks, Robert
Love the groovy turntables and the cut-a-way cars on display. Thanks for posting
The British motor show typically held in Earls Court was around October during that era so 73 event would’ve been the 74 model year Porsche.Quote:

I thought I’d posted various year’s similar motorshow short films before, but maybe not?
Not British Earls Court Show but a brief appearance of 901 around 1min mark in Belgian show of 1964 In a British parthe news film.Quote:

Acknowledgement to photographer trade name Van Hallen who were photographers that took many shots for the sole concessionaires. Friend of the owners he had a Studio near the importers Isleworth West London premises around that time. Looks like a decent turnout at the event ans a good crowd around their stand.
Also this movie

I might have posted some of these videos before but can’t remember which .. so what the heck it’s a canter thorough some Earl’s Court roadshows. These little films were shown in movie cinemas alongside main feature movie for folks unable to attend in person. Very much of their era
For 356 fans a short appearance

Some nice footage of car production plants on the 1965 show; Porsche not featured which is a pity as think early 911 was there.

Very brief view of 912 66 show

67 a brief glimpse of a Porsche if can bear watching clip with its patronising sexist voice over

Pity the merely launched Carrera RS that was at the show didn’t feature

For 73 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8BFrE4GiSZU
Fast forward to 1974 including the delights of a luxury Vanden Plas edition of the Algro

Are they example of very rare early RHD lights? Bosch 7045 are RHD — if so coincidentally photographed one that I retrieved from my storage today it is is date coded on sticker on reverse mid sixties survivor.Quote:

Ones on car might be the bit more common LHD version of that era?
If only we had an optometrist here who also knew about early RHD 911 lenses ;)
